Thank you very much for your answer on a nice Sunday! On 10/12/25 5:05 PM, Francesco Poli wrote:> I have just tested the whole scenario on a sid virtual machine.
I cannot reproduce the issue you are experiencing.
Well... you are right! After a break couple of hours and a reboot, I cannot reproduce it any more either. I thought I got hold of a bug; but I didn't. Please mark this issue as solved.
A better choice can be to use the 'p' and/or the 'd' (see the online help that you can print with the '?' answer) to pin the troublesome package. Then you can stop the upgrade (by answering [Enter]) and restart it (with 'apt upgrade', which will skip the pinned package and possibly other related packages that must be upgraded together, but will upgrade all the rest of the packages).
Thank you for your advice. I didn't work with pinning yet. I'll learn how to. And a big THANKS to you and all my heroes makers of free software!
